Hidamari Sketch on mushrooms (on head). Cozy, silly and surreal, but with an ominous atmosphere, like something bigger is happening, something special and strange. I love that feeling, especially when told in Tsukumizu's style of depression-infused optimism. The low effort panels are charming and great, and the high effort panels are so wild and creative that it's worth buying the Japanese volumes for the artwork, even if you can't read it (like I did). The odd moments we spend in West Yomogi would be worth reading 49 chapters on their own, but there's an actual story as well, and it's so good. It builds into something bigger, with lotsto think about and interpret.

The supporting characters are the best. They all bring their own charm and strangeness to a manga that's already charming and strange.

If you're looking for a 10/10 niche manga and can handle moe blobs figuring out how to get along when reality itself seems to be malfunctioning, jump in. It's my #1 manga, if that matters.

Read it twice and spread the good word of the egg and mushroom. Do your part so we can finally get English volumes to collect.
